For car enthusiasts, finding car parts can sometimes be a chore, even with the regionally famous ‘Bamboo’ foreign used auto parts districts at our disposal in T&T. While some new parts like windshield are available there, when you can’t find a replacement or afford the dealer’s price you have to look elsewhere. The same goes for aftermarket parts if local tuner shops or distributors do not have them in stock and you need to get them quickly. Similar norms also apply to consumer electronics, clothing, shoes and many other goods. It’s fairly common these days to search and shop online on Amazon, or even bid on your item in an eBay auction, if you’re really hard pressed to find it. But when it’s time to ship it home, what do you do?

Imagine collecting model cars that you don't actually have to carry in your pocket, or display on your shelf– at least not in the traditional sense. Part of a new phenomenon called non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, as they are commonly referred to, are a series of digital collectibles– and in this case, an officially licensed digital version of the popular DeLorean time machine from the movie Back to the Future. If you thought this article was going to be about buying cars with cryptocurrency, you haven’t scratched the surface.

As promised, the Ultimate Cell was installed in one of our vehicles– the manual 2.0-litre Hyundai Elantra. The process was fairly simple and the guys at ANSA Technologies had us up and running in one afternoon. 

By now many are familiar with the fact that ANSA Motors sells the Honda City CNG, the JinBei CNG Maxi Buses and Freightliner CNG-powered trucks. But what solution is there for those who are unable or unwilling to purchase a brand new CNG vehicle, or CNG kit? Could there be something smaller and less complex that could be fitted to your existing vehicle? The answer is yes, and for a fraction of the cost, too. The Ultimate Cell is a hydrogen-generating fuel cell that is tiny enough to be installed in your engine bay.

Nissan Introduces New Dual Injector System for Improved Fuel Efficiency in Small-Displacement Engines

TOKYO (July 14) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced the development of a Dual Injector system designed to improve fuel efficiency in small-displacement gasoline engines. The new fuel delivery system, the first of its kind in the world*1, uses an injector for each port rather than one per cylinder - speeding up fuel vaporization, reducing the amount of unburned fuel and reducing hydrocarbon emissions. Nissan will introduce the new system in production vehicles starting early in fiscal 2010.
